How many iui's with ds is average?

klf · 03-07-2005, 06:55 AM

I've been lurking on these boards for the past 6 years... DH had a vasectomy after his 2nd child (with first wife) which now is @28years ago. I am 32 and went through 2 ivf/icsi cycles about 3 years ago, both negative. For the past year, we have been trying iui with donor sperm and my 2 attempts have failed. I had laproscopy last June, a tiny fibroid was found and a small amount of endo. was removed, Dr. wasn't overly concerned. First iui attempt was in Sept. with Clomid, and didn't work. Started a cycle in Oct. with Gonal F, and progressed too quick (didn't even have ds delivered yet) and had to cancel cycle. Last cycle was in Nov., only had one decent follicle...cylcle didn't work. In the process of this cycle, they found a small polyp. Had that removed by D&C in Feb. I'm still waiting to get my period, since I never got one in Jan., if I don't have one by tuesday I will have to go on provera. But, I guess what I was wondering is... how many cylces does it normally take to get pg. with iui and ds? I only have 2 cycles left that will be covered on my insurance and am feeling kind of pressured and discouraged that my chances are little to none. I'd appreciate any feedback on iui and ds that anyone has.

I think everyone is different. I used DS with 5 IUIs and 2 ivfs and am still not pregnant but I'm older than you (41). I"m now moving on to DS/DE.

Wishing you luck!

3-6 cycles. 3 being average and 6 being longer than normal. I think this applies to IUI with your DH's or IUI with DS or IUI with your DH's using a traditional SM!
